Turkey Sausage Spaghetti

This is by far one of the healthiest spaghetti recipes I’ve ever made! I was craving Italian last night and remembered this recipe I posted in the first month of starting the blog. My awesome healthy-eating friend (her name is Amy, too!) told me about it and I’ve always loved it.

Besides… this recipe was in desperate need of new photographs! Mercy!

This spaghetti is so hearty, perfectly seasoned and chock full of Italian turkey sausage, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and spinach. I used half of a 5-ounce bag of spinach in this recipe (2-1/2 cups), but if your grocery store has a salad bar you can buy just enough spinach for the recipe. (I’ll eat my leftover spinach later in a salad!)

And did I mention that it comes together in just 30 minutes if you have your pasta going while making the sauce?! Even better!

This is no doubt a healthier compromise if you’re a spaghetti lover like me. Enjoy!

Instructions

Begin cooking pasta according to package directions.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add turkey sausage and onions and cook, crumbling turkey sausage as it cooks, for 5 minutes (stirring constantly). Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Delicious! My children and my husband loved it! I was a little hesitant because my little ones do not like artichokes but they did not even realize it was in the food and they said they liked what I made. This is definitely a winner in my family and a keeper! 🙂
